Interesting piece for #GeohazardsInDryPlaces students and first year #DynamicEarth

A huge thanks to Troy Sternberg for his guest lecture today in #GeohazardsInDryplaces on a fascinating and exploration of #dzud

Another research angle on the timing of shifting #sanddunes at the #coast at #formbybeach for the Y3 geography #geohazards unit coursework @uomseed.bsky.social

This ‘unearthed’ buried crisp packet is from 1983!
And look at that wonderful 007 watch you could have sent off for!

It’s Formby #fieldtrip day.

Today we employ our powers of imagination & analogy: imagining we are in a dryland dune region.

Measuring velocity profiles of the wind with height, looking out for saltation under today’s wind & moisture conditions & observing drifting dunes and their stratigraphy.

This is such wonderful news to read Anson! Enjoy those ultra-marathons!

Congratulations Marc!! 👋👋🦣 @marcdickinson.bsky.social for winning the Lewis Penny Medal for his fab tooth enamel dating work from @quaternaryra.bsky.social. @chemistryatyork.bsky.social

Day 2 of #QRA2026ADM took us into the world of #Quaternary glaciation and Sedimentary Archives from glaciers, tsunamis & Quaternary sediments more generally

Also miss those geotwitter days Andy! Good to refind some of that community here.
Really enjoyed your updates on Dogger Bank, & look forward to future updates in future years! #QRA2026ADM

Superb session 1 at the #QRA2026ADM with talks covering human-environment interactions with a really wide spatial coverage and diverse range of proxies & timeframes.
